this was the first item I had installed into my 35.....and it is simply fantastic for the price.

Infact, I got 2 of them, one for my brother's R34....some 3 months ago now.

The telephone, radio, DVD and GPS functions are great....so too the seperate SD card reader/player.

The TV is an absolute joke!...not worried about that too much.

So far..both unit's are fine....but can get glitchy if the GPS unit is not completely turned off prior to ignition off. ie. (keys out)...I've found.

A simple soft re-set gets them going properly again.

Their 'build quality' is akin to something you'd win from a 'shootem-up' gallery at the circus.......So only time will really tell.

so far so good!....best 440 buh I ever spent on car entertainment....(yep, u can get them even cheaper than that).

If it breaks after a year, I'll get another one.

Just my 3 cents.

Interesting split view =)

I'd agree with Chris Rogers, only in that he clearly knows his electronics.

In saying that, im IT minded so i tend to go for more robust systems and technical knowledge.

In saying THAT, i don't disregard superspit's input! =/

What a dilemma you have!

Chris are all those no brand double din systems on ebay garbage? Is that the reason you say dont bother?

pretty much. the transports die in them, lasers die suddenly. drop down faces get stuck. software hangs and thats the $300 ones.

I get emails from shenzen (china) offering me these things for $150USD all day long. those go into the bin. I see them as junk and as such after fitting several and having to pull several back out I quit fitting them.

if you are into pulling your car apart in 6 weeks -> 6 months go for it. myself I prefer to put things in once.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
